Lions tour call-up hasn't 'sunk in' for Ben and Tom Youngs
THE YOUNGS brothers admit their call-up for the Lions tour of Australia hasn't quite sunk in.
Ben and Tom were given the nod ahead of Toby Flood and Jonny Wilkinson, as Warren Gatland announced the squad at a news conference this morning.
The squad announcement has a Leicester Tigers feel to it, with six players hailing from Welford Road.
Ben admitted that he is delighted to have been given the chance to prove himself for the Lions.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "There is so much history attached to the shirt. It is a great feeling but it hasn't sunk in yet.
"You have to be selfish sometimes, as you work very hard for your personal goals.
"I'm delighted for Tom and I'm delighted for Leicester Tigers too."
Tony and Rory Underwood were the last brothers to be selected for a Lions tour.
